When Su Lun came out of the chessboard space, the onmyoji had disappeared.
Except for the hundred and ten ghost warriors bound by silk threads, other monsters in the bamboo forest disappeared.
Qianjo watched Su Lun come out and asked, "How is it?"
Su Lun shrugged and responded somewhat helplessly: "That person should be the "demon" Abe Taihe, who is very powerful. Under normal circumstances, we should not be able to keep him. "
He had already deduced various countermeasures in his mind before, but no matter which one, the means of everyone present seemed to be unable to kill the guy.
The people outside the chessboard space didn't see who was fighting Su Lun, but hearing the name "Abe Taihe", Yuko on the side was shocked.
She is too familiar.
Because, that guy is the chief priest of the royal family!
"No wonder I dare not show up..."
Shenfu Yuzi instantly understood something, and his expression was very solemn.
It was only then that she realized that the threat was not only from the shogunate, but even there was a big problem within their royal family.
That guy has a special status, and it would be very troublesome to expose him, so he used this method to drive away Shikigami to kill people, and never showed up. .
But at the same time, Yuko was even more surprised that this Mr. Su Lun actually retreated from the battle with Abe Taihe, who was known as the "First Priest of the Court"?
This is too incredible.
Su Lun looked at Yuzi's eyes and read her doubts.
He seemed to say to Qianjo, and also explained to everyone, "That guy's strength is unfathomable. But he seems to have some scruples, so he didn't do his best. But I don't think this is a place to stay for a long time."
What Su Lun didn't finish saying was: If that guy had done his best, he should have run away with Chijo and Lolota by now.
Chijo listened and nodded, "Yeah."
Su Lun knew that Qianjo and Shenfu Yuko had a protection contract, and knew that she might have some other arrangements. I didn't help anyone to make any decisions, I went to see the ghost warriors who were bundled into "zongzi" by myself.
Because they were busy fighting before, these shackled ghost warriors didn't have time to seal them completely, they escaped and only a few dozen were left.
Fortunately, the leader of the ghost warrior in the famous armor is still there, and each one has a Shinto talisman.
Su Lun identified the general symbols of "ghost talismans" drawn on the white paper, which were a bit like rune words. They were constructed with patterns and energy to form a complete curing spell, which had the effect of exorcising evil spirits. However, the energy of this talisman is not pure, and it also borrows the power of Shinto belief.
He looked at his spoils with satisfaction.
With such a few samples, I have been busy for a long time.
In the field of alchemy, in theory, everything in the world can be analyzed, and the principle of equivalent exchange is also applicable. As long as the characteristics of the creatures can be copied on the rune puppet. If the research is thorough, and the Puppet Legion that can be resurrected infinitely can be created in the future, then it will really make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Su Lun did not forget to say to Yuzi who was not far away, "Thank you, Miss Yuzi."
When Shenfu Yuzi heard this, he bowed politely and said, "I should be thanking you, Mr. Su Lun."
......
This is the first time that several people have been chased and killed all the way from Edo, and the enemy has been repelled for the first time.
Now that the situation has improved, but the crisis has not been completely resolved, Qianjo asked, "Miss Yuko, what are you doing now? That guy was temporarily forced back, and may make a comeback."
Yuzi glanced at Su Lun, seemed to think of something, and said, "Miss Qianjo, can I trouble you and Mr. Su Lun to protect me for a few more days? I will pay the corresponding compensation..."
Her posture is very low, and she does not hold the identity of the princess herself, or the arrogance of the Shinto priestess.
After a moment's pause, she said with an inquiring tone, "Also, I also have some things I want to ask Mr. Su Lun."
Qianjo didn't make a statement, but glanced at Su Lun: "What do you mean?"
Her arms are now sealed, and her combat power is limited. If she really wants to encounter the situation just now, she is helpless.
"..."
Su Lun had an indifferent expression on his face,
Because the two already had a tacit understanding, he also saw the strange look in Qiantiao's expression, as if he wanted to come down by himself?
Thinking that he didn't know him well anyway, and he didn't have a contract, he would definitely run away when he encountered an enemy he couldn't beat, so he said, "I can do it."
But after all, the Rune Warlock's inheritance scroll and the soul of "Ghost Sword" Aki came from this one, and it can be regarded as some affection. Lai Shanyin's main purpose is achieved, so it's okay to follow along.
What's more, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be good to communicate with this goddess Yuzi more.
The battle with the Onmyoji just now aroused Su Lun, an alchemist, who was curious about the secret art of Shinto.
His teacher Seria once said that alchemists must be knowledgeable and need to understand the world and understand everything with knowledge. Various gods are also part of the need to understand.
There is no more suitable person to communicate with than such a Shinto shrine maiden.
He wanted to ask some Shinto secret methods, such as the "Paperman Art" just now, the principle of the resurrection of Onimusha, or other strange monsters.
Hearing Su Lun's response, Shenfu Yuzi's face lit up with joy, and bowed to Su Lun and Qianjo again, and said sincerely, "I've caused you two troubles."
"but..."
Looking at the messy bamboo forest, Su Lun suddenly thought of something and changed the conversation, "I think Miss Yuko should make some other preparations."
He could promise to help a little more, but he didn't really want to cause a big disaster.
He has not figured out the reason for Abe Tai and the previous "water release", so he naturally has to be more careful.
Su Lun said directly: "That Abe Taihe has the Shikigami [Inu God] by his side. If we leave like this, there is a high probability that we will be caught up again."
Obviously anyone can imagine this situation.
Hearing this, Shenfu Yuzi asked cautiously, "Mr. Su Lun, what do you mean?"
Su Lun knew that Qianjo might not be able to speak for some reason, so he had to come when he pretended to be a "black face" and said something unpleasant.
He said blankly: "I think we can divide our troops. [Inu God] catching the target depends on the smell. I suggest that you and the guards should be separated from Miss Yuko. You can let the guards take some clothes and go in different directions. ."
This is the most reasonable solution at present.
Su Lun actually thought about it carefully before speaking.
Yuko is a witch, and her own cultivation is not weak. She is also proficient in the secret methods of ghosts. In fact, there is a possibility that she will be continuously tracked by monsters, but it is not high.
This arrangement can also completely rule out another possibility, that is, the enemy is actually tracking a guard by her side.
Hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yuko's face.
Without the guards, her life was completely in the hands of these three foreigners from Shanyin.
But this hesitation was only for a moment, she nodded immediately and said seriously: "Okay! I also think Mr. Su Lun's plan is very good!"
In fact, from the moment she chose to stay in the battle, she had already entrusted her life to this "reinforcement soldier".
Moreover, in the current situation, it seems that there is not much difference between guards and no guards.
After all, that Abe Taihe's methods cannot be blocked by a few Joinin.
But when he heard this, the captain of the guard had a worried expression on his face, and quickly interjected: "But, Her Royal Highness..."
Although he also thinks this plan is reasonable, but his responsibility, as the captain of the guard, can't be assured that the little princess who is more noble than his own life will leave with the "stranger".
Shenfu Yuzi had a determined expression on his face, and said, "Needless to say. Just follow Mr. Suren's plan."
Several ninja guards could only bow down: "Yes, Your Highness!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Chijo, Mr. Suren, just wait for me for a while."
With that said, Yuzi walked out towards the shadow of the bamboo forest.
Seeing her behavior, Su Lun was probably going to change her clothes.
Although his night vision ability was good, he couldn't stare at a girl changing clothes, and turned his face to collect the pile of "zongzi" seriously.
......
Not long after, when the goddess Yuko came out again, she had already changed into another set of clothes.
She took off her disguise and put on a shrine maiden's costume that represented her clergy. She was lined with plain white undergarments, a white coat with silver embroidered sun patterns, a red hakama in the style of a pleated skirt, and a pair of red New Jersey sandals on her feet. A head of thick dark hair draped over his shoulders, the elegant temperament of "long black and straight" instantly rushed to his face.
Su Lun looked at the goddess Yuko in women's clothing, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes.
Sure enough, the appearance of men's clothes is very eye-catching, and it is naturally excellent to change back to the appearance of women's clothes.
Different from Mr. Jing's cold and arrogant, Qianjo's heroic spirit, Yuta's wildness, Sabina's enchanting... Shenfu Yuzi has a feeling of a small family jasper. And because of her status as a "servant of the gods", coupled with this elegant red and white witch costume, the pure, sacred, out-of-this-world, and classical image came into view strongly, and her whole body revealed a special charm.
Su Lun took a look and then narrowed his eyes, and thought for a moment: No wonder he wants men's clothes. With such an appearance, it is difficult not to be noticed without disguise.
But compared to Yuko's delicate face, Su Lun glanced at the witch costume more.
At first glance, the fine line work is exquisite, and it is full of treasures. The jacket and inner lining are all vestments, and even the white hemp ropes around the waist are all Shinto spiritual tools that have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
Although this mountain is very poor, some classes are not worse than the outside aristocrats.
Qianjo used to be the eldest sister when she was in the Crusade, and she was used to talking, so she looked at the good-looking girl and said casually: "Yo...Miss Yuko is so beautiful."
Hearing this female hooligan's teasing, Shenfu Yuziqiao's face seemed to have a touch of shame, and she nodded shyly, "Miss Qianjo has won the prize."
Saying that, she handed the four packages in her hand to the four guards, and instructed: "Kinemon, here are my clothes and Shikigami paper figurines, you go to Owari, Mikawa, Nagano, and Qiuyuan respectively. Shrines in the four places."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Several ninja guards took the package and disappeared into the bamboo forest in an instant.
Su Lun listened to Shenfu Yuzi's arrangement and couldn't find any faults. All four places are said to have Ise Jingu, which is indeed very confusing.
......
As soon as the guards left, there were only four Su Lun left in the bamboo forest.
Yuko felt a little strange.
With few people, it seems to be empty.
She is a princess of the royal family. She has been accompanied by guards since she was a child, and she has never been out alone.
There are only a few outsiders around.
Yuko always has a feeling of being alone.
Naturally, several people couldn't stay in the bamboo forest. Qianjo asked, "Miss Yuko, where are we going next?"
Yuzi seemed to have a plan, and said, "In the Izumo Territory, which is less than a hundred miles to the southwest, there is a 'Chaming Mountain', and there happens to be a secret stronghold of mine."
"Oh."
Qianjo raised his eyebrows with a look of indifference.
Speaking of this, Yuko seemed to remember something, and added: "Miss Qianjo didn't ask where is the volcanic hot spring? Chaming Mountain has the best hot spring in Shanyin. Every winter, it is the scenery. It's the best time~"
Hearing this, Qianjing's light instantly lit up, and he was really interested, "Okay! Let's go where we are."
Yuko smiled.
Su Lun felt that it didn't matter where he went. Now that the "Inheritance of the Rune Warlock" has been obtained, the ultimate goal in Shanyin has been achieved. He now has to digest that knowledge as soon as possible, and then refine the [Imitated Primordial Rune] to advance to the fourth level.
Now that the dark spiritual power is overflowing, the upper limit will be broken again only after entering the fourth level, and the power of various warlocks will be improved in a step-by-step manner. If I encounter that Abe Taihe again, the grasp of the response will increase.
The group of four decided the route, cleaned up the battle marks, and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
......
The pirate city Hastelling has always been a mixture of dragons and snakes. In addition to pirates, there are other forces lurking.
Just when the Ninth Fleet of the North Sea Fleet was heading to Shanyin, an inconspicuous merchant ship was docked in a secret harbor in the Golden City Wall, and several cloaked men were ready to board the ship and leave the port.
On the deck, it was as if a farewell was going on.
A cloaked man held the hand of another cloaked man and said something.
"Grandma, do you really want to go there in person? But your body..."
The voice is very gentle, like a young girl with integrity. Although the alchemy cloak covered his face, upon closer inspection, you could see the person who spoke, with beautiful purple hair.
The other was slightly stooped, like an old man in the twilight.
She said calmly and said slowly, "Yes. Grandma's life has come to an end. If I don't come again, even next year, I won't be able to come."
She held the purple-haired girl's hand, like saying goodbye for the last time in her life, "Katyusha, don't be sad about grandma's departure, come to Shanyin... This is the rare choice in my life that I have followed my own will. Thank you too. After listening to your story, my grandmother was determined to come and see."
The purple-haired girl knew that this separation would be a goodbye, and her tone was full of sadness, and said: "But... Grandma, the situation in Shanyin Kingdom is now at a critical time, and the results of astrology... Good. You really want to go and let me accompany you, okay?"
"No, I want to go see it alone."
The old man seemed to have long since looked down on life and death, and caressed her cheeks full of tears: "My little Katyusha, promise grandma, this is the last time you will cry. Since you have chosen your path, go on firmly. "
"..."
The purple-haired girl said nothing, saying goodbye to the most beloved relative in her life, a grief that cannot be expressed in any words.
The old man held the pretty face that was crying and said with a smile: "Being in a family like ours is both fortunate and unfortunate. When I was young, I married a southern chaebol for the benefit of my family. His prosperity has been compromised and paid for his whole life. Now that I have reached the end of my life, I want to take the final journey by myself. Go there and see if there is a shadow of me in his story."
The purple-haired girl didn't know how to speak, "Grandma..."
"If I had the courage of yours when I was young, I might have taken a different path."
The old man smiled kindly, "At that time, my dream was to be a novelist or a troubadour. Even if I think about it now it seems pretty good."
As she spoke, the purple-haired girl's shadow was reflected in her turbid eyes, as if she saw what she looked like when she was young, and she couldn't help but tell her story: "At that time, like you, I liked to write scripts and write the most beautiful ones. Gustav likes to write novels about ghosts and ghosts. He writes imaginative things, and likes to write stories about people at the bottom. Such stories are also very unpopular in the upper class, and he has been living a poor life. But at that time, we didn't feel bitter. We would run wildly on the hillside full of flowers, smiling silly. It seems that our tomorrow will always be full of flowers..."
Hearing this story, the sparkle in the purple-haired girl's eyes gradually calmed down.
She had buried her past in that dense forest.
From now on, there will be no more flowers on the road.
In the end it is necessary to separate.
The old man patted her on the shoulder, "Okay, I'm leaving."
The purple-haired girl was silent and nodded.
The old man raised his hand and waved goodbye, and finally said with a smile: "Grandma's only regret now is not being able to watch you grow up. I'm also curious, what kind of man can make my little Katyusha make such a choice? ..."
[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】
Hearing this, Ekaterina's fingertips lightly dropped, fluttering a strand of hair on the side of her temple, and she smiled gracefully: "Grandma, Katyusha has grown up."
"alright."
The old man leaned on the fence and smiled.
The ship slowly left the port.
